They both need plenty of fertility, and not too much water at first, then plenty of water later. I don't know what to do with the turmeric myself; it's just not in our diet historically. But it sold surprisingly well at the farmers market.
How much did you have to plant to yield a crop? I had maybe 1-2 pounds of ginger initially, but they rotted in the pot.
